Cambridge University Press Possible Worlds in Literary Theory 7 Literature Culture Theory Series Number 7
Book SynopsisThe concept of possible worlds, originally introduced in philosophical logic, has recently gained interdisciplinary influence; it proves to be a productive tool when borrowed by literary theory to explain the notion of fictional worlds. In this book Ruth Ronen develops a comparative reading of the use of possible worlds in philosophy and in literary theory, and offers an analysis of the way the concept contributes to our understanding of fictionality and the structure and ontology of fictional worlds. Dr Ronen suggests a new set of criteria for the definition of fictionality, making rigorous distinctions between fictional and possible worlds; and through specific studies of domains within fictional worlds - events, objects, time, and point of view - she proposes a radical rethinking of the problem of fictionality in general and fictional narrativity in particular.Trade Review"...Ronen's book is a most valuable and exciting contribution of great interest to two communities of specialized readers: those interested in the general dynamics of theory formation in cultural studies and those whose interests focus on one central issue in this sphere, fictional worlds and their constitutive domains." Uri Margolin, Style"...illuminates the logic underlying an important interdisciplinary borrowing and constitutes a powerful reassessment of fictional narrativity. It is a splendid performance."

Cambridge University Press Introduction to Literary Hermeneutics 9 Literature Culture Theory Series Number 9
Book SynopsisPeter Szondi is widely regarded as being among the most distinguished post-war literary critics. This first English edition of one of his most lucid and interesting series of lectures opens up his work in hermeneutics for English-speaking readers. The question of what is involved in understanding a text occupied Biblical and legal scholars long before it became a concern of literary critics. Peter Szondi here traces the development of hermeneutics through examination of the work of eighteenth-century German scholars. Ordinarily treated only as prefigurations of Schleiermacher, the work of Enlightenment theorists Johann Martin Chladenius, George Friedrich Meier, and Friedrich Ast yields valuable insight into the 'material theory' of interpretation, on which a practical interpretive methodology might be built.Table of ContentsForeword by Joel Weinsheimer; Translator's preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Chladenius, I; 3. Chladenius, II; 4. Chladenius, III; 5. Chladenius, IV; 6. Meier, I; 7. Meier, II; 8. Ast; 9. Schleiermacher, I; 10. Schleiermacher, II; Afterword; Index.

Cambridge University Press Afrotopia
Book SynopsisAfrocentrism and its history has long been disputed and controversial. In this important book, Wilson Moses presents a critical and nuanced view of the issues. Tracing the origins of Afrocentrism since the eighteenth century, he examines the combination of various popular mythologies, some of them mystical and sentimental, others perfectly reasonable. This is a rich history of black intellectual life and the concept of race.Trade Review"Moses charts new lines of investigation and, fearless of consequences,opens up old subjects for discussion in new ways. This is a book that will inform the highly informed." American Historical Review"In short, this is a truly significant work and should be essential reading for anyone interested in why the present state of race relations has come to be what it is." The Journal of Southern History"Moses makes his argument convincingly and provides an invaluable resource for scholars and advanced students of the African and African American experience....Recommended for graduate students and faculty/researchers." Choice"...a first rate book on African American intellectual history that explains a great deal about black historiographic thinking, both academic and popular,today,and is highly recommended." Gerald Early, Journal of World HistoryTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Varieties of black historicism; 3. From superman to man; 4. Progress, providence, and civilization: Crummell, Douglass, and others; 5. W. E. B. Du Bois: modernism and antimodernism; 6. William H. Ferris; 7. Afrocentrism versus relativism; 8. Conclusion.

Cambridge University Press Literature against Philosophy Plato to Derrida
Book SynopsisThis timely book argues that the institutionalisation of literary theory has led to an intellectual sterility which ignores the actual power and scope of literature. The book demands to be read by all teachers of literature and theory, and by anyone concerned with the future of literary studies.Trade Review'By focusing on the condescension with which philosophy has, since Plato, treated poetry, Edmundson has given us a remarkably successful and genuinely original treatment of the relation between contemporary European philosophy and American literary criticism. Though he writes in a spirit of reconciliation, his view is bound to be controversial. Many literary theorists have no wish to be reconciled with the poets.' Richard RortyTable of ContentsPrologue: an ancient quarrel; 1. Rhetorics of blindness; 2. Polemics against presence; 3. Real history; 4. Foucault Inc.; 5. Under the influence.
